The Ed.M. program with (K-12) teacher certification agricultural science education, offered by the GSE and Rutgers
School of Environmental and Biological Sciences (SEBS), is designed for individuals who possess a bachelor's
degree in agricultural science or a closely related field and who wish to pursue certification and a master's degree
in education. Certificates are recommended only in conjunction with the completion of the requirements for the
Ed.M. degree.
The program has four major goals:
-
To help students develop a view of agricultural science as a knowledge-building enterprise and to be able to
describe the practices associated with agricultural sciences.
-
To help students learn pedagogical content knowledge of agricultural sciences, i.e., content-specific teaching
methods in this discipline including supervised agricultural education.
-
To familiarize students with current state and national standards in agricultural science education.
-
To provide students with the knowledge and skills of integrating technology into agricultural science instruction.
